- tech speakers meetup - yay!
- sam is gone, boo :(
- Please update this etherpad early today!
- http://arewereorganizedyet.com/ - YES (for now)

Last 2 Week(s):
- Brazil JS
- Event was a huge success. Mozilla’s presence and impact at the conference was second-to-none!
- Berlin Tech Speaker Meet-up
- 26 Tech Speakers converged in Berlin for two days of intensive speaker practice, training with industry experts, writing workshops, and creative exercises. Through participating, Tech Speakers fostered team cohesiveness, improved themselves as speakers, authored speaking bios, and received valuable one-on-one feedback from Denise Graveline, an industry-leading Tech Speaker Coach.
- View Source
- ~20 Tech Speakers stayed in Berlin to volunteer staff the Mozilla 2016 View Source Conf. Alex Lakatos gave an ignite talk, Flaki I. led a discussion panel, Manel and Andre led a session on diversity and inclusion, and all of our other tech speakers got involved in a variety of other way (from leading discussion corners to serving as host(ess) and greeter)
This Week:
- Completing post-event reports for Brazil JS and View Source
- Tying-up loose ends from Berlin Events (invoice, metrics)
- Communicating post-event email to TS’ers
